LA CITTADINANZA DEL CORPO 2017

LA CITTADINANZA DEL CORPO 2017

La Cittadinanza del corpo, created by Virgilio Sieni for the city of Mantua continues.

After the success of the 2016 edition which got the people of Mantua dancing in the rooms and open spaces at Palazzo Te, La Cittadinanza del corpo is once again inviting people of all ages without any technical know-how or previous experience and dancers aged 10 and over to take part in the 2017 edition.

The aim is to combine the language of the body and dance with the urban landscape and the dimension of closed and open spaces. A journey using the body and the gaze to discover a new city founded on the relation between generations, hospitality and listening to others through collaboration among individuals.

The final results will be tested on the public from 17 to 19 July at Palazzo Te and in various locations around the city.
